D-Limonene Citrus Solvent Degreaser – Heavy Duty Tar, Glue & Bitumen Remover

D-Limonene Citrus Solvent Degreaser – Heavy Duty Tar, Glue & Bitumen Remover

In stock

Dissolve heavy industrial grease, baked-on bitumen, stubborn adhesive residue, and heavy fuel oils with natural solvent power. Multex D-Limonene Citrus Solvent Degreaser is a high-purity, trade-strength solvent formulated using naturally derived terpene extracts from citrus peels. Engineered as a powerful alternative to chlorinated solvents, white spirit, and caustic chemical degreasers, it penetrates and liquefies tough industrial deposits without leaving foul petroleum fumes behind.

Engineered specifically for engineering workshops, plant hire yards, commercial vehicle fleet depots, tarmac contractors, and detailing professionals, this versatile degreaser emulsifies on contact with water. It effortlessly strips away heavy grease, roofing tar, asphalt splatter, tape adhesive, transit wax, and rubber scuff marks from concrete floors, metal chassis, machinery, tools, and hard workshop surfaces.

Key Features:

  • 🍊 Natural Citrus Terpene Power – Pure D-Limonene solvent base cuts through heavy industrial grease, wax, and bitumen without toxic chlorinated compounds.
  • 🏗️ Heavy Bitumen & Tar Liquefier – Rapidly breaks down asphalt, roofing adhesives, sticky mastic, and rubber residue on tools and vehicles.
  • 💧 Water-Rinsable Emulsion – Formulated with specialized emulsifiers; turns milky white when rinsed with water, lifting suspended grime cleanly away without oily films.
  • 📦 High-Economy Trade Sizing – Supplied in robust 5L containers and 25L bulk commercial drums tailored for workshops, plant hire, and contractors.
  • 🚰 Controlled Dosing Option – A 30ml precision dosing pump can be purchased and used with all 5L and 25L containers for clean, controlled, mess-free measuring.

Trade & Facility Applications:

  • Plant Machinery & Heavy Equipment: Strips baked grease, hydraulic fluid film, and diesel grime from diggers, forklifts, and agricultural machinery.
  • Tarmac, Asphalt & Roofing Contractors: Dissolves bitumen spray, mastic sealer, and roofing tar from shovels, paver plates, screeds, and delivery vehicles.
  • Engineering Workshops & Machine Shops: Degreases metal components, engine blocks, gearboxes, chains, and workshop machinery prior to maintenance or painting.
  • Commercial Vehicle & Fleet Maintenance: Removes heavy transit wax, fuel staining, adhesive sign-writing glue, and road tar splatter from chassis components.

Direction to use

📋 Commercial Application & Dilution Guide:

Dilution & Application Ratios:

  • Heavy Bitumen, Asphalt, Tar & Cured Adhesives: Use NEAT (Undiluted). Apply directly onto deposits using a chemical-resistant brush, swab, or solvent-safe trigger sprayer. Allow 3 to 10 minutes dwell time to soften and liquefy, then scrape or wipe clear and rinse with clean water.
  • Heavy Engine Degreasing, Machinery & Plant Chassis: Dilute 1 part D-Limonene with 2 to 5 parts water or paraffin/kerosene (1:2 to 1:5). Brush or spray on, agitate stubborn greasy deposits, and pressure-wash clean.
  • Workshop Concrete Floor & Pit Cleaning: Dilute 1 part D-Limonene with 10 to 20 parts clean water (1:10 to 1:20). Mop or scrub across oil-stained bay floors, allow to penetrate, then squeegee or rinse to a drainage interceptor.
  • Light Degreasing & Wipe-Downs: Dilute 1 part D-Limonene with up to 50 parts water (1:50) for general surface grime cleaning.

Application Technique:

  • Always test on a small, inconspicuous test spot before wide-scale application (especially on unknown plastics, freshly painted panels, or asphalt surfaces).
  • Apply evenly to the target contaminated area.
  • Allow sufficient contact time for the citrus terpene solvents to penetrate grease and tar roots.
  • Rinse thoroughly with high-pressure water or hose down with clean water; the solution will emulsify into a milky rinse that lifts away effortlessly.

💧 Precision Dosing Pump Guide (5L & 25L Drums):
